How successful such a concealment may be is well displayed by the general acceptance of the notion that women are reluctant to enter into marriage—that they have to be persuaded to it by eloquence and pertinacity, and even by a sort of intimidation.

I have said that women are not sentimental, i.e., not prone to permit mere emotion and illusion to corrupt their estimation of a situation. The doctrine, perhaps, will raise a protest. The theory that they are is itself a favourite sentimentality; one sentimentality will be brought up to substantiate another; dog will eat dog. But an appeal to a few obvious facts will be enough to sustain my contention, despite the vast accumulation of romantic rubbish to the contrary.

Men, as each one is aware of, are disposed to query this superior intelligence of ladies; their egoism calls for the denial, and they’re seldom reflective sufficient to get rid of it by logical and evidential evaluation. Moreover, as we will see a bit afterward, there’s a sure specious look of soundness of their place; they’ve pressured upon ladies a synthetic character which nicely conceals their actual character, and girls have discovered it worthwhile to encourage the deception.

A person thinks that he’s extra clever than his spouse as a result of he can add up a column of figures extra precisely, and since he understands the imbecile jargon of the inventory market, and since he is ready to distinguish between the concepts of rival politicians, and since he’s aware about the trivialities of some sordid and degrading enterprise or occupation, say soap-selling or the legislation.

The proverb that no man is a hero to his valet is clearly of masculine manufacture. It is each insincere and unfaithful: insincere as a result of it merely masks the egotistic doctrine that he’s doubtlessly a hero to everybody else, and unfaithful as a result of a valet, being a fourth-rate man himself, is prone to be the final particular person on this planet to penetrate his grasp’s charlatanry. Who ever heard of valet who did not envy his grasp wholeheartedly? who would not willingly change locations together with his grasp? who did not secretly want that he was his grasp?
